9.2.3 Internal relay (M)
Internal relays are auxiliary relays used in the CPU module.
All internal relays are switched OFF at the following times:
• When the PLC is powered OFF and then ON
• When the CPU module is reset
• When latch clear operation is executed.(
(a) For Basic model QCPU, High Performance model QCPU, Process CPU
The internal relays cannot be latched (backed up for power failure).
(b) For Redundant CPU
When the start mode is set to the hot start mode, the internal relays are latched
(backed up for power failure). When the start mode is set to the initial start mode,
the internal relays are not latched (backed up for power failure).
There are no restrictions on the number of contacts (N/O contacts, N/C contacts)
used in the program, provided the program capacity is not exceded.

X2 M0
Outputs (Y) are used to output sequence program operation results to an external
destination.
POINT
Latch relays (L) should be used when a latch (memory backup) is
required.( Section 9.2.4)
No restrictions on the quantity used.
M0 switches ON at X0 OFF to ON.
SET M0
The internal relay (M0) ON can only be used for
internal CPU module processing, and cannot be
output externally.

M0 ON/OFF information is output from the output
module to an external destination.
